Its a pity this...I can really understand why Con Kolivas got so pissed off, the CFS scheduler will end up implementing many of his ideas.

Well even worse. He's been busting his butt trying to get the kernel bigwigs to use his code for a long time. Then the new CFS scheduler (with his ideas and code) is plunked into mainstream without nearly the same testing and proven success of the CK code. What a slap in the face.

I guess I'll stay with the 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 kernels for a while, unless someone else decides to maintain the ck patchset. I've noticed too much of an improvement with his patches, to want to run a kernel without them. People like Con Kolivas are too rare; I can't help but think there's something very wrong when they get turned off like this ...
